Part‑time Personal Assistant
I am a 17‑year‑old person living in the Beddau area with my family and pets.
I use they/them pronouns, experience non‑epileptic seizures and feelings of anxiety, am diagnosed with autism, and tire easily, so I use a wheelchair on longer days.
I enjoy colouring, playing piano, cooking and ice skating.
Purpose of Job
I am looking for a PA to support me to access the community, take part in social activities and develop my social skills, with the aim of making me more independent.
Hours of Work
6 hours per week during term time and 12 hours during school holidays.
During term time I would like the PA to work 4 hours on a Monday and 2 hours on a Wednesday. During holidays the schedule is more flexible.
Part hours are acceptable if you cannot commit to both days.
Rates of Pay
£13.50 per hour and 40p per mile where applicable.
Tasks Involved

* Potentially learn lines with me.
* Build up to going swimming one day.
* Help me develop social skills.
* Potentially attend a club together.
* Ensure my safety and watch for signs of me tiring during activities.
Type of Person Required
* Someone with a good sense of humour.
* Very friendly and kind.
* Happy to work in a home with pets; liking dogs and cats is a bonus.
* Someone who is not shy or quiet.
* Calm in case of seizures.
* Good awareness/experience working with neurodivergence, autism, or mental health.
* A car driver with business class insurance.
About the Job
Though a part‑time job, this will be a proper position requiring a National Insurance number. A trial period will be necessary initially. The wage will be paid monthly, with appropriate holiday pay given.
The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check, the cost of which will be met by the employer (Local Authority). Relevant checks will ensure any applicant has the right to work in the UK.
